In the history file of this mailing list I saw 5 users who have had the same problem as I do; I haven't found any solution. The problem is: After creating the installation floppies, I try to boot from them. A few seconds later I get the message: /boot.config: -P Keyboard: no Then the system continues with the process but fails after about one = minute. I have to reset the machine to continue. If I prompt the machine just after she came up with the "Keyboard: no" message, and I enter `-Dh` as is told in the Trouble.TXT file, I get = the prompt: >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0,a)/boot/loader boot: At this point I don't know how to continue: I can enter a value f.ex. = "DOS" but then she replies >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0,a)/boot/loader boot: "DOS" No "DOS" >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0,a)"DOS" boot: Is there a solution for my problem? If there is no solution I also want = to here it.=20 Greetings.
